The protagonist of the story, he is the adopted younger brother of Otome Tsuzuki. He was found as a baby, abandoned on a tatami mat, and was named Takumi by the orphanage. He used to live in the same orphanage as Fumino, until it closed down. He ran away from the orphanage and was found by Otome, and they subsequently became family. He is usually in charge of the Stray Cats patisserie, as Otome is often absent from the shop. He is childhood friends with Fumino, and is the only person who knows what Fumino's words usually mean.

Fumino Serizawa (芹沢 文乃,Serizawa Fumino?)

Voiced by: Kanae Itō

One of the main heroines of the story, she is the childhood friend of Takumi, and has been with him ever since they were both in the orphanage. She has a habit of meaning entirely the opposite of what she usually says, a fact only Takumi seems to be aware of. It was revealed that Takumi was the unwitting inspiration for this habit. She works at the Stray Cats as a part-time job. When she's angry, she tends to shout "Die twice already!" to the poor soul who incurred her wrath. In addition, Takumi is the unfortunate recipient of much of her violent outbursts. She has a crush on Takumi, and is frequently teased about it by her good friend, Kanae. She confesses to Takumi in a panic, and leaves Takumi somewhat hanging on the credibility of what she had said. She is also easily embarrassed, and can get worked up if someone even suggests that she cares for them. Fumino's parents died in an accident, leaving her orphaned.

A mysterious girl Otome picked up at the train station on the way home. Also one of the main heroines. She arrived at the Stray Cats, not knowing anything but her name. She normally tends to be indifferent and emotionless, but also seems to be airheaded when it comes matters like being nude. Initially, she ran away because she thought that she was getting in the way of Fumino and Takumi's relationship, but was eventually convinced to return by Takumi. She has a tendency to say "Nya~", much like a cat. Her hairstyle also oddly resembles a pair of cat ears. She transfers to Umenomori Gakuen, with some help from Chise, and ends up in the same class as Fumino and Takumi. She seems to be a genius, as she learns how to make a cake from Otome, but surprisingly does it to a professional level on her first try, and according to Takumi, scored the highest in a practice exam at school.

The heiress of the Umenomori family and one of the main heroines. She has the appearance of an elementary school girl, but is actually a high schooler the same age as Fumino and Takumi. She looks upon Takumi as her servant and has a strange want for him to let her hold his hand. She has a clash of personalities with Fumino, and the two girls end up bickering whenever they are within the vicinity of each other. Takumi usually has to intervene and end any disagreement the two might have. She decides to make a club, but also forcefully ropes in Takumi and his friends as members.

The owner of the Stray Cats store, and the adopted older sister of Takumi. She has a tendency to be away from the shop frequently due to the fact that she likes to help people the best she can, even if she has to go to the ends of the world to do it. This usually leaves the store with nothing to sell at times.

One of Takumi's best male friends, and a galge maniac. He frequently provokes Fumino with his comments and is most of the time protected by Takumi from her outbursts. He also has a tendency to compare situations in galge to those in real life.
